Welcome
to my home page! I started Georging in Feburary, 2003. Since
then I have amassed 235,000 plus bills of various denominations from one to
one hundred dollars. I have also designed the rectangle stamp featured on
all my bills! The stamp is available by calling Custom Stamp Makers.

Operation Kool-Aide
is an attempt to bring Americans together in the theme of
Supporting our Deployed Troops; those in Iraq, Kuwait and
Afghanistan by sending care packages to select points of contact
for distribution throughout the Middle East... getting a card or
letter to a home sick Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine that
would - if just for a brief moment - let them know that we care
about them and their health, wellness and readiness in a combat
situation. Prayers are our # 1 offering to these Brave Souls,
and after our Prayers comes the time, effort and energy involved
in the sending of a little bit of Americana to the Troops;
Kool-Aid, Jerky, Hard Candy, chewing Gum, Lip Balm, Moisturizer,
and the list goes on and on...
OKA got its start
in July 2003 when Ralph was at his favorite Hobby:
Where's George
reading through the Northeast FORUMS... he noticed a posting by
Terri that sent thanks to a friend for the can of presweetened
Kool Aid they had sent her. She was in Kuwait at the time,
stationed at the in processing Base for those Brave Souls
heading north into harms way. Ralph sent a reply to Terri and
asked if there was anything that he could send over to help out.
Terri quickly replied "A can of Kool Aid would be very nice!"
Well, Ralph thought about it, got a case of Kool Aid and mailed
it over. Terri received it and was amazed that she had gotten
this from someone she didn't even know, but that could tell
there was a need for a group to come together and show support
and caring for the Troops. He posted in the Midwest FORUMS for
assistance in putting together Kool Aid care packages to send to
Terri. Within a few hours, 50 replies came back to Ralph
offering assistance in buying, mailing and sending funds for the
high postage that would be involved with this, well, project...
a project that needed a name... so in Late August, 2003
Operation Kool Aide was born!

Every
chance I get I'll go to the bank and get singles. I'm known for having
singles so often that a lot of merchants will ask me for some if they are
short. Right know I am No. 2 in Ohio. I average about 5,000 bills each month of various
denominations and will stamp them all. I try and use mostly good to better
quality bills for their longer life span. Every night I will enter as
many bills as possible before putting them back into circulation. I have
tried many different stamps but this one gets a lot of
attention
and praises. The design is simple and doesn't cover any of the bills real
features. A word to the wise when stamping currency do not cover any of the
security features on the bills especially the portrait. All vending
machines will look at the portrait for counterfeit detection plus it won't
make the return trip out of the Federal Reserve Banks.
